I'm writing a piece of autobiography/alternate world fiction,
using git. Whether it will get finished or be any good, or be too
personal to share I don't know. The idea though is sorta interesting -- a
series of descriptions of inflection points in a life, each committed into
git at the time it describes. As the life paths diverge, branches form, but
never quite merge.

Reading this would not be quite like reading one of those choose your own
adventure books. Rather you'd start at the end of a path and read back
through the choices and events that led there. Or browse around for
interesting nuggets in gitk. Or perhaps the point isn't that it be read
at all, but is instead in the writing, and the committing.
